Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Upon hearing such a sharp shout, everyone in the room was startled! Li Shi even swayed, her face turning deathly pale!

"This, Lord Zhao? How do you know? This, Ah Nuan, she?" Madam Li asked incredulously.

Zhao Qing looked unwell, and Mu Chang'an, who came in with him, looked even worse, his gloomy expression almost like a dark cloud, making people feel intimidated.

"Madam, please don't be anxious. Please ask Brother Zhao to take Anuan's pulse first."

Upon hearing the name "Lord Zhao," the physician's face turned deathly pale. Involuntarily, his body went limp, and he collapsed by the bedside, unable to move.

Aunt Song swayed slightly, biting her lip tightly. No! She hadn't arranged for anyone to poison her, it couldn't be! But Zhao Qing's words just moments later pushed her into a desperate situation.

"This is the poison of the Heart-Losing Grass, Zihe, quickly write down the prescription."

"Yes, Father." The little boy, who looked to be about the same age as Mu Xin Nuan, went to the table, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote down the prescription that Zhao Qing had given him.

"Send someone to fetch the medicine immediately, then boil two bowls of water down to one bowl and bring it over as fast as possible."

Granny Yu quickly accepted the order, took the prescription, and was about to leave when someone said, "Granny, don't rush, I'll go with you. Since someone wants to harm Sister Nuan, we can't be careless with this antidote."

Granny Yu was taken aback. She glanced at her mistress and saw that her mistress had nodded. Mu Qingxuan was also going to go with her. Her slightly annoyed little face clearly showed that she had already decided that someone was trying to harm her elder sister.

Mu Chang'an watched Zhao Qing finish administering acupuncture to his daughter, looking exhausted. Seeing that his daughter was gradually waking up, he felt relieved. As for the family physician, he had already ordered the steward to drag him away and interrogate him thoroughly!

My daughter is clearly poisoned, but this quack doctor claims she's just suffering from qi and blood stagnation affecting her heart. What kind of logic is that?

How could such a young child suffer from such a heart ailment? It's clearly because he was instructed by someone! Of course, Mu Chang'an didn't need to say this aloud; everyone present, whether master or servant, understood perfectly well.

"Reporting to Master, the physician has confessed that he received a bribe from Concubine Song and had previously ordered someone to add Polygala tenuifolia to the eldest young lady's medicine, only once every two days, which caused the eldest young lady's injury to heal and relapse intermittently. He does not know the specific reasons why Concubine Song did this. As for today's incident, the eldest young lady was indeed poisoned, but because of Concubine Song's suggestion, she described the poisoning as an attack of qi and blood to the heart."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Song immediately knelt on the ground. "Master, Madam, I am innocent! I haven't said a single word to the physician since he entered the room. Please, Master, do justice for me!"

Mu Chang'an's face was already extremely ugly. "Someone, go to the kitchen and check. Detain all the maids and servants who handled the young lady's medicine and interrogate them carefully."

"Yes, sir."

This clearly showed that she didn't believe Aunt Song's words. Zhao Qing saw that Mu Xin Nuan had woken up, but her lips were still purplish, and asked with some heartache, "Ah Nuan, is your chest hurting?"

Mu Xin Nuan nodded slightly, "Uncle Zhao, I feel a little breathless."

However, Mu Xin Nuan spoke very slowly and softly. Without even looking at her face, one could tell that she was having great difficulty speaking these words, clearly still suffering from the torment of the poison.

"Don't be afraid, Ah Nuan. With Uncle Zhao here, he will definitely heal you. Your brother Zihe has already personally prepared the medicine for you, so he will definitely not let anything happen to you again."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

Before they could get any results from that side, Old Master Mu came in. When he saw his eldest granddaughter in this state, he was naturally heartbroken!

Mu Xin Nuan had grown up in his and the old lady's arms since she was little, so naturally she was more favored by him than other children. Now, upon hearing that his granddaughter had been poisoned, one can imagine how furious he was!

Mu Chang'an was about to re-examine the case when Old Master Mu shook his head at him. Although Zhao Qing and Mu Chang'an had known each other for many years and their families were old friends, Zhao Qing was still an outsider! As the saying goes, family scandals should not be aired in public, and Old Master Mu felt he couldn't afford to lose face like that!

Zhao Qing naturally understood and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she waited for Zhao Zihe and Mu Qingxuan to bring in the medicine, which Li Shi then fed to her personally. After another quarter of an hour, Zhao Qing took her pulse again and said, "The antidote has begun to take effect. If nothing unexpected happens, after two more doses, the poison in A Nuan's body will be completely neutralized."

The group breathed a sigh of relief and naturally began to thoroughly investigate Mu Xin Nuan's poisoning.

After carefully examining the dregs in the medicine pot that hadn't been emptied yet, Zhao Qing's face darkened. "There is indeed a Heart-Losing Herb in here! And the dosage is small. However, as the physician said earlier, if someone had previously used Polygala tenuifolia, adding this Heart-Losing Herb would increase its potency! That's why A-Nuan suddenly vomited blood and fainted."

"Lord Zhao, will this poison leave any aftereffects on A-Nuan?"

"That won't happen, but she needs to take good care of herself. After all, Anuan is still young. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Otherwise, if she had been treated with the method of treating qi and blood attacking the heart, I'm afraid Anuan would have been in serious trouble."

Zhao Qing didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew perfectly well that the consequences would be dire!

Aunt Song had been kneeling for quite some time. She moved from the inner room to the outer room, but remained kneeling, thinking only about how to clear her name.

"Song, what else do you have to say? I always thought you were a good person. Otherwise, Mother wouldn't have put you in charge of the kitchen just because I had to take care of Anuan! Now look what you've done, you've even dared to plot against my daughter!" Li said angrily.

Upon hearing Li's words, the old lady also felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, it was she who proposed the matter of managing the kitchen. Who would have thought that such a person would dare to set his sights on the eldest daughter of the Mu family?

"This servant is innocent! This servant is innocent! I beg you, Madam, to investigate thoroughly. This matter was definitely not done by my own family! It must be that physician making false accusations. I beg you, Master, to investigate thoroughly."

Mu Xinyao panicked at this moment, "No, no! Auntie never intended to kill Eldest Sister. Auntie said that she was only giving her some Yuanzhi (a traditional Chinese medicine), no one will die!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyao realized she had misspoke. She quickly covered her mouth, widened her eyes, glanced at her grandfather sitting at the head of the table, and hurriedly corrected herself, "No! That's not what I meant. No, Aunt didn't have anyone drug me."

The vulnerability has already been exposed; trying to patch it up is not that easy.

At this moment, besides Granny Yu and Rong Yue, only Mu Qingxuan and Zhao Zihe were with her in the room. However, neither of them noticed that Mu Xinnuan's slightly purplish lips had quietly curved upwards. The beautiful and somewhat cool arc was like the bright moon hanging high in the night sky—beautiful, yet unreal!
